Hi and thanks for your post on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am sorry to hear Max has diarrhea recently. Before heading off to the veterinarian, you may want to try a day or boiled chicken, rice, and plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) to see if that helps with the diarrhea. If a day or two goes by and Max is still experiencing diarrhea, you may need to take him into his veterinarian for an exam and fecal testing. I hope this helps and best wishes to you and Max!
